I don't know why the president should be held responsible for people lighting fires, but yes they did have these fires then, this years is only slightly above average, there just wasn't this global agenda then. Fake news spread by media and celebs.
Fires in Brazil
As well as main stream media hysteria, we had madonna tweet a fire from 30 years ago, cristiano ronaldo tweeted a photo of a wildfire nor even the amazon from 2003, the frenh president tweeted a photo of a fire a journalist who died in 2013 took.
And plenty more. All with heart bleeding, emotion triggering mesages and generally attacking the president.
